Which outcome occurs when nearshore sand dunes erode?

💡 Explanation

As sand dunes erode, the shoreline migrates landward because wave action and wind redistribute sand inland via **littoral transport**, therefore the shoreline physically moves landward, rather than accretion happening or other responses affecting water velocities.

• Which consequence results when crustal divergence is restricted?
• Increased coastal erosion occurs when intensification alters gyre currents because of which mechanism?
• Which secondary effect is intensified when seismic retrofitting is selectively underfunded?
• Which consequence occurs when repeated freeze-thaw cycles destabilize loess?
• Which process limits the eruption intensity at shield volcanoes?
• Which storm behavior results from the Coriolis effect?
